liberals thought obama stopping the torture program wasn't enough. that people tarred by association with that program should not be promoted, that there should be political accountability for people who were close to the torture policy. liberals raised enough noise about john brennan's potential nomination to run the cia in 2008 and 2009 that it never happened. at least it never happened in the first obama term. now it is happening in the second obama term. now apparently with the official nomination of john brennan to lead the cia today, now apparently we know that the white house has decided to go for it. yes, the secret prisons are closed, and yes, this president outlawed torture. but i think the administration's calculation is that the political statute of limitations on john brennan's liability for being associated with the torture and secret prison policies under the previous president, that statute of limitations means that it's not enough to keep him from the incredibly powerful job of cia director in the president's second term. because pre

after last night's vote, president obama attempted to draw a line in the sand on one of the big fights coming up next, a showdown over the debt ceiling. >> while i will negotiate over many things, i will not have another debate with this congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they've already wracked up through the laws they passed. let me repeat, we can't not pay bills that we've already incurred. if congress refuses to give the united states government the ability to pay these bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy would be catastrophic. far worse than the impact of a fiscal cliff. people will remember back in 2011, the last time this course of action was threatened, our entire recovery was put at risk. consumer confidence plunged, business investment plunged, growth dropped. we can't go down that path again. >> the president draws a line on one of the upcoming fights. joining us now is mike allen to review a little bit about what happened yesterday. mike, we were not sure there would be a vote at some point. obviously the house felt a bit j

there is president obama's number one political agenda item. because he knows we will never again have a republican president, ever, if amnesty goes into effect. we will perpetually have a progressive liberal president, probably a democrat, and probably see the house of representatives good into democrat hand and the senate will stay in democrat hand. so you will have a permanent liberal progressive democrat class and you will never again be able to see our country return to its constitutional foundations. that's what's at risk right now. it may sound mellow dramatic. i don't mean it that way. this is that big and that important. >> wow. >> i mean, she is saying that if immigration reform goes through, we're never going to have any republicans in power again because this will just be a big give away to democrats in the progressive movement. it is that simple in their mind. but you know what that is? that soundbite is an admission. an admission that republican opponent know they are vulnerable. they have nothing on the table for wage earners in
